How it works
From your data to a headline number, and a roadmap.
Enter the figures you already hold, in a question set shaped for your industry. Yarta verifies them, grades the evidence and moves your dashboard. Your report issues at the end of the period, with the roadmap to improvement.
The loop
Six steps. One of them is yours.
You enter the figures. Yarta does the checking, the grading and the calculating. The loop runs every period, and closes when the report issues with its roadmap.
Onboard
Thirty days. Yarta agrees your categories, your sites, your targets and your baseline year with you, and issues the method sheet that states how each one will be counted. Nothing is calculated until the method sheet is agreed.
Enter your figures
Fuel, electricity, gas, water, waste by stream and the registers, from the bills and reports you already hold, for the whole organisation or site by site. Your industry's question set asks only for what applies to you.
Yarta verifies and grades
An analyst checks every figure against your earlier months and the benchmarks and asks if something looks off. Every figure carries an evidence grade, and any attached bill or docket lifts it, so a number on your dashboard can be traced back to the record it came from.
Your dashboard moves
As the data arrives. Every tile recalculates: the ten category scores, the Yindyamarra Score, where you could be at the eco standards, and the emissions figures: your inventory by scope and, beside it, the avoided emissions.
Fill in the gaps
Once a month an automated email lists what Yarta still needs for the period, by category. You enter it, or say it does not exist. A category with no data is marked "not reported" and left out of the score, never guessed.
Report issues, with the roadmap
Monthly, quarterly or annual, to suit your reporting cycle. The report states every figure with the method version it was calculated under, pinned so the number can be reproduced later, and closes with the roadmap to improvement: the score at the eco standards, the suggestions, the estimate with Yarta help and the plan by quarter.
The roadmap to improvement
From your data to a better score. Five steps, every period.
A report that only measures leaves you where you were. Yarta evaluates, benchmarks, suggests, introduces the accredited help, and measures the change on the next report.
Evaluate
Your data becomes ten category scores and one Yindyamarra Score, each with the rule that produced it. The weakest categories are the ones the roadmap starts with.
YartaBenchmark and compare
Each category is set against the eco standards, the published industry benchmark for your sector and your own history. The gap between where you are and "at the eco standards" is the size of the opportunity.
YartaSuggest
The roadmap lists the suggestions that would move the score most: switch to renewable electricity, add an organics service, fix the contamination, electrify the next fleet purchase. Each one carries its estimated effect on the score.
YartaBook accredited help
Every suggestion can be booked. Yarta introduces a provider who holds the licence or accreditation the work requires, or you use your own. The booking is recorded against the roadmap.
You choose · Yarta introducesMeasure the change
The next report shows the category that moved, the figure behind it and who did the work. The roadmap rolls forward with the next set of suggestions.
Yarta · next periodThe accreditation we require of every provider we introduce.
Yarta does not do the physical work. The provider must hold the licence or accreditation for it, checked before the introduction and recorded against the booking.
Waste & circularity
Licensed collection and recoveryAn environment protection licence or registration for the activity in that state, processor certificates for every stream, and AS/NZS 5377-certified processors for e-waste.
Energy & renewables
Accredited audits and installersEnergy audits to AS/NZS 3598. Solar and battery installers accredited under the Clean Energy Council scheme (Solar Accreditation Australia). Electrical work by licensed electricians.
Buildings
NABERS and Green StarNABERS accredited assessors for building ratings; Green Star accredited professionals where the project calls for it.
Fleet & transport
Fleet and EV advisersWorking from your own kilometres and fuel data, with charging installed by licensed electricians.
Water
Licensed and program-alignedLicensed plumbers for works, leak-detection and irrigation specialists, and water auditors working to your utility's efficiency program.
Land, nature & Country
Landcare, bush regeneration, rangersLandcare groups, accredited bush regenerators and Traditional Owner ranger programs, engaged and paid on their terms. Contaminated land by EPA-recognised consultants.
Carbon & governance
Independent assuranceWhere assurance is needed, an independent assurance practitioner. Yarta never assures its own figures.
Funding
Grants on verified figuresGrants writers using the Yarta figures as the evidence base, so an application rests on the same numbers as the report.
Where a Recycle Group business does the work, the report says so. The estimate "with Yarta help" on your report is calculated from the published rules for each suggestion, not from a promise. The provider rules in the Yarta Method → · The eco standards →
Whole-of-organisation
Every category. Whoever supplies it.
Yarta reports the whole organisation: the electricity retailer's bill, the fuel-card statement, the water meter, every waste contractor, the planting record and the community program. Each figure is graded by the evidence behind it, wherever it came from.
It lists what Yarta still needs for the period, by category. You forward the bill, the statement or the contractor report, or say it does not exist. None of your suppliers ever touch Yarta, and none need to.
The rule is the same for every category: a Yarta operator enters it, the entry carries an evidence reference, and the evidence decides how much the figure counts. That is what lets one dashboard hold an energy bill, a fleet register, a kerbside contract and a revegetation program at once, and still put a number on the report that an auditor can follow back.
Evidence is graded, not assumed. A bill and a customer's say-so are both recorded. They do not carry the same weight.
Evidence grades
Proposed · Yarta Method v0.1| Grade | Evidence | How it counts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Primary document: a bill, meter read, weighbridge record or processor certificate | Counts in full toward the Yindyamarra Score and every tile. | Counts in full |
| B | System extract or reconciled internal record: a fleet, finance or contractor report, or a register reconciled to source | Counts, and is flagged on the record and the report so a reader can see what it rests on. | Counts · flagged |
| C | Estimate or statement without documentation | Recorded, and shown as an estimate. Lowers the evidence share in the Governance score until the document arrives. | Recorded · estimate |
The Governance score's evidence share is the share of entries backed by Grade A evidence. A Grade C entry can be upgraded at any time: send the document, the operator attaches it, and the grade moves.
Switched on in 30 days
Four weeks from first call to live dashboard.
Onboarding is scoped, not open-ended. By the end of week four your first month is entered, your dashboard is live and the first monthly email is scheduled.
Week 1
Scope and categories
Sites, the ten categories and the streams in play for your sector. Who holds which record, and where the evidence comes from.
Week 2
Baseline, targets and method sheet
The baseline year is set, your targets and the eco standards that apply are agreed, and the method sheet states how each category will be counted.
Week 3
First month entered
Your named Yarta data operator enters the first bills, statements and contractor reports. The record starts.
Week 4
Dashboard live
Every tile calculating from the record, the first score on the screen and the first roadmap drafted. The first monthly fill-in-the-gaps email is scheduled.
Proposed schedule. Subscription applies from the switch-on date.
What you receive
The dashboard, the report and the method behind both.
Everything on this list is built from one record, so the number on the report is the number on the dashboard is the number in the export.
- Yarta Dashboard access. Your score, the ten categories, where you could be and the suggestions, live, across every site. Moves the month the data lands.
- Monthly gap email and summary. What we have, what we still need, and where the month landed by category.
- Yarta Report per period. Three pages: the score and the categories, the figures behind them, and the roadmap to improvement, with a report ID and the method version.
- CSV and PDF exports. Every entry with its evidence reference, the carbon export by scope, and the Yarta Report as a PDF.
- Roadmap and provider introductions. The suggestions by quarter, the estimate with Yarta help, and an accredited provider for each one you choose to book.
- A named Yarta data operator. One person who enters your records, answers the gap email and signs off the month with their initials.
The principle
Your data in. Your results out. Then the roadmap.
If customers typed in their own figures, no report built on them would be credible. So they do not. Your part of the loop is to enter the figures you already hold once a month. Yarta does the rest, and the roadmap tells you what to do next.
